New Site Toolbar!

Other people have already echoed my thoughts.

It adds visual clutter.  I don't like elements that remain constantly in view as I scroll.  I hate seeing these kinds of things on other sites, so I would rather not see it on a site I visit daily.  At first I thought it was some kind of ad and was instantly turned off.

I like the idea of "FA chat", but isn't that what TS is for?  If you can't log on to TS, then use the forums.  The majority of us work or go to school throughout the day.  Our schedules may not be arranged in such a way that permits us to hang out in a chat room for extended periods of time.  In fact, the time when we are most likely to sit down and hang out in a chat room is when we are at home on our own machines where TS is installed.

As Yotogi said, it doesn't serve much of a purpose for people who aren't linked to other social networks.  

The toolbar either duplicates functionality that is already available, or it provides functionality that is not necessary.  For instance, do we really need customized bookmarks when the site is already very easily navigable?

I don't like it.  It visually clashes with everything and as soon as I saw it I assumed either the site or I had been compromised with malware.  I'll give it a couple days to see if my opinion changes.

T, is the bar flash based? Do you have an iPhone as well? Can someone else running android pipe in?

I'm using xScope on gingerbread.

It's kind of fun trying to figure out which little star Broin is on that map.

The bar doesn't show up on a Droid X running 2.2.1.

It's Javascript.

Not sure if the default android browser fully supports jsp, I've always used third party.

Really, after the first time I saw it, it blends in now. I thought I was infected with some malware as well when it first came up. I don't think it is a bad thing at all. Overall though the only thing from the bar that I see as a big plus is the notifications. Maybe that can be implemented without a full bar across the bottom of the screen and they only pop up as "toasts" when there is one.
